PSM 2 Exam Questions with 100% Correct Answers (A+ Graded)

A developer in the team you're Scrum Master for is taking up most of the daily Scrum time to talk about what's keeping him busy. What two options do you best apply to solve this? A. Bring a timer to limit the time every member can talk during standup B. Bring a token for team members to pass around only people holding the token may talk C. Coach the team to find a solution to this issue D. Talk one-on-one with the developer and help them see the impact they are having on the daily Scrum E. Go to the HR manager and have the team member removed Correct Answer C, D The team and it's members must be coached to solve problems together and be self-organizing. This includes coaching individual members to be mindful of their team. Your company has notified the stakeholders that they will be delivering the first release of a new product within ten Sprints. On the seventh Sprint, the Scrum Team discovers that they will not be able to include all of the expected features within the first release. The Product Owner believes if they remove some items from the Definition of Done they will be able to accelerate the development process. The Development Team objects to this idea as it will lead to technical debt. As a Scrum Master, what would be the best two ways to explain to the Product Owner the impact of technical debt? (Choose two.) A. As long as there is still technical debt in the current release, feature development for the next release cannot be started. The Product Owner must first agree to this impact before allowing changes to the Definition of Done. B. Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development progresses Correct Answer B, C Reducing the Definition of Done will introduce unknown errors as development progresses and functionality is added. It also creates false assumptions about the actual state of the system. "Extra Sprints" are not allocated in Scrum to account for technical debt. Each Sprint should create a POTENTIALLY releasable Increment. Part of the team's Definition of "Done" requires creating or updating technical documentation in order to maintain the product and/or features in the future. The team's technical writer will be on vacation during the Sprint. What should you do? A. Encourage the technical writers from other teams to form a specialized team to organize and plan the work for multiple teams. B. The Development Team members will write it as they are still responsible for creating the documentation to make the Increment done in conformance with their Definition of "Done." C. Wait until the technical writer returns before continuing with related items. D. Complete all development work first while adding technical documentation to the Product Backlog to be done in a subsequent Sprint. Correct Answer B. The Development Team members will write it as they are still responsible for creating the documentation to make the Increment done in conformance with their Definition of "Done." The Development Team is cross-functional and has all of the skills needed to deliver an Increment in accordance with their Definition of Done. A new Product Owner has joined an existing Scrum Team that has been working together for eight Sprints. The Development Team has grown to have a good understanding of the functionality and business for the product they have been building. The Product Owner, being new to the company, is unsure about his responsibilities. As a Scrum Master explain what two acceptable ways of helping the Product Owner would be. (Choose two.) A. You advise the Product Owner to start building a good relationship with the stakeholders of the product. Ongoing interaction with them is important to regularly align with changing organizational or market expectations. The Product Owner is also expected to invite the right stakeholders to the Sprint Review meeting. B. You inform the Product Owner that, in today's highly competitive markets, it is important that the Development Team is updated on changing business priorities on a daily basis. Th Correct Answer A, D The Product Owner is the direct line of communication with the stakeholders. The PO must communicate with them to understand the business value of the Product. The PO can then communicate the value to the Development Team and build the Product Backlog. C is incorrect because there is no "analysis phase" in Scrum. What is management's role in Scrum?
